Bloom & Wild Letterbox Flower Bouquet Delivery Service Review

I absolutely love having flowers around my house,
particularly in our newly decorated very white house, it just brings a pop to
colour to a room, refreshing and brightening it. I love sending and receiving
flowers in the post but unfortunately rarely do so for two main reasons

either the recipient may
not be home which causes delivery problems or the flowers get delivered to
work and have to survive the commute home

As you don’t chose the
flowers yourself, you can’t quality check them

After a disastrous Mother’s Day bouquet delivery from a
company who shall not be named, I wasn’t intending to send another any time
soon… and then I found out about Bloom & Wild Flower Delivery.

A unique and innovative concept, Bloom & Wild allows you
to either order online or through their app (I LOVE that more companies are
creating apps), and they’ll send out the most beautiful bouquet in a well
presented box that fits through the letter box!

I have to admit, I was slightly dubious before giving it a
go. Another of my pet hates is that bouquets of flowers are often relatively
small, particularly home delivered ones. When the box came it was long but very
very thin (obviously to fit through the letterbox) but I definitely wasn’t
expecting there to be many flowers in there. I was wrong.

Upon opening the box, the flowers were beautifully wrapped
and inside, each flower was placed well and protected to ensure not a single
petal was damaged. As I started to unwrap them, they literally just kept coming
and coming. After all of the packaging had been taken off and I had started
placing everything in the vase, I was honestly astounded at the sheer volume of
flowers they were. I definitely could have done with a bigger vase. The flowers came with details of how to arrange them (and even still I messed it up) and information on the bouquet you had received and how to look after it.

When the flowers first arrived, the bouquet looked
exceptionally lovely but I did notice that not all of the flowers had bloomed
yet which I was really excited for. Within a couple of days, the flowers had
bloomed beautifully and literally everyone who entered our house commented on
how gorgeous the arrangement was.

I know I most definitely need some lessons in flower
arranging and I didn’t do the greatest job but even so, the bouquet still
looked so great, I literally couldn’t stop looking at it… or taking photos of
it – if you follow me on instagram you would have been bombarded.

The best thing about these flowers is that they lasted,
still looking fresh, for TWO weeks! I usually only get a couple of days out of
shop bought flowers so I was amazed at how great they looked after so long.

This is most definitely a service I’ll use again, I would be
utterly proud to send a bouquet of this standard and for the quality, I think
the price is extremely fair.

Find out more about Bloom & Wild Flower Delivery on their website. They
even offer a subscription service which I am extremely tempted by. I really
miss our flowers; they were such a show piece of our house adding a pop of
colour to our white space.
